Almost forgot to post this one...an alternative to a chocolate yule log which my daughter helped me make for Christmas day. It was huge. Even after handing some out to family and friends we still have loads left 🤣🦌🎄

birthday cake was this weekend's baking challenge. Getting the colours right and a straight line was a challenge in itself but the birthday twins loved it.

The cake was chocolate fudge cake with milk chocolate buttercream covered in white chocolate ganache and coloured buttercream. Then some scrummy sweets to top off a full on sugar rush 😋

L.O.L. Dolls cake for Flo's 6th birthday. 4 layers of lemon sponge with zesty lemon buttercream and rainbow coloured ganache drips (all specified by the birthday girl) 🥰

Huge congratulations to Emily & Dan. Had the pleasure of making their wedding cake yesterday.

Four tiers...Victoria sponge, zesty lemon (x2) and carrot. The bride looked absolutely beautiful

Did a little 'guess the weight of the cake' cake for my daughter's Summer Fayre at her school today...loads of people had a go 🥰. How heavy do you think it was? 🤔

Huge congrats to West Ham x

Back by popular demand for Fathers Day...'cupcakes & treats' boxes or brownie boxes 😋. Please get in touch for availability and prices.

Totally forgot to post this pic of a little cake I made for one of my daughter's school friends. Mermaid theme for the birthday girl 🧜‍♀️

I had the honour of making the birthday cake for my daughter's friend. It was a princess themed party so we went for an elegant princess design, complete with rose gold crown.

Cake was traditional vanilla cake with strawberry jam and vanilla bean buttercream.

Bit of a rushed one for one of my fave little boys in my life...Jensen. A chocolate fudge cake with a 'Venom' theme.

I was so disappointed as I didn't have any red food colouring so had to do black drips. When I said this to the birthday boy he frowned and said 'why would you use red...that is for Carnage'. I still have no idea what he meant...but the cake was creatively correct apparently so that's all that matters!

This weekend's wedding cake was an absolute pleasure to make and decorate! And a new venue for me at Parklands Quendon Hall (absolutely stunning venue by the way).

Flavours were chocolate fudge with Nutella buttercream, raspberry and white chocolate, traditional vanilla and then a scrummy pistachio cake at the top.

Decorated with fresh roses, olive leaves and eucalyptus.

A bright and beautiful four tier semi naked wedding cake for Charlotte and Ben. The tallest one I've made so far.

Flavours were chocolate fudge, strawberry milkshake, zesty lemon...and my new fave cake flavour...sticky toffee (complete with a little addition of biscoff sauce added to the buttercream).

Silk sunflowers which can be kept for everlasting memories.

Anyone for Gin?

A wonderful 60th celebration cake for Laura and Emma's mum. Traditional vanilla cake with jam and vanilla bean buttercream, topped with mini raspberry meringues, Lindor chocs and silk flowers. Plus a couple of cans of Gin Fizz. The perfect gift for any cake and Gin lovers 🍸🎂

I've done every one of Isabella's birthday cakes so far and I definitely loved doing this one. Paw patrol themed (with added 'melting ice cream') plus edible paws and bones...oh and lots of yummy sweeties on the top including flumps and jazzies. My pic, then with the topper her mummy ordered 🐾🐶🐾

Happy birthday to me 🥰. Belated 40th celebrations...and I had to make sure I had cake for everyone x
